Build_opt.h only used when compiled with LTO

[bbc25185]

Describe the bug
After testing, I noticed that the Build_opt.h file is used only if, as a compilation optimization, one with LTO is chosen.

To Reproduce
The Build_opt.h file contains the following code:
-DSERIAL_RX_BUFFER_SIZE=512 -DSERIAL_TX_BUFFER_SIZE=512
-DMAVLINK_COMM_NUM_BUFFERS=4
-DPIN_SERIAL1_RX=PB7 -DPIN_SERIAL1_TX=PB6
-DENABLE_HWSERIAL1
-DPIN_SERIAL2_RX=PA3 -DPIN_SERIAL2_TX=PA2
-DENABLE_HWSERIAL2
-DPIN_SERIAL3_RX=PB9 -DPIN_SERIAL3_TX=PB8
-DENABLE_HWSERIAL3
-DPIN_SERIAL4_RX=PA1 -DPIN_SERIAL4_TX=PA0
-DENABLE_HWSERIAL4

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Selected Board: STM32G0 Series
Board Part Number: Generic G070KBTx
Usart Support: Enabled (No generic Serial)
Compiled with Optimize - Smallest: No error and Ram usage dont change with Buffer size change
Compiled with Optimize - Smallest with LTO: Various error reporting "note: 'SerialX' was previously declared here" and Buffer Size changing with Buffer Size setting.

Expected behavior
The file Build_opt.h always working

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Windows11
• Arduino IDE version: 2.3.4
• STM32 core version: 2.10.1
• Tools menu settings if not the default: Usart Support: Enabled (no generic Serial)
• Upload method: SWD

Board (please complete the following information):

• Name: STM32G0 Series
• Hardware Revision: Generic G070KBTx

Additional context
To solve the problem, I normally compiled with LTO but due to errors that appeared when I started implementing FreeRtos.
Without LTO the options in the Build_opt.h file are not applied for my project.

Hi @bbc25185
Here my result:

Default config::

Sketch uses 19996 bytes (15%) of program storage space. Maximum is 131072 bytes.
Global variables use 1432 bytes (3%) of dynamic memory, leaving 35432 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 36864 bytes.

With your build_opt.h:

Sketch uses 20304 bytes (15%) of program storage space. Maximum is 131072 bytes.
Global variables use 6084 bytes (16%) of dynamic memory, leaving 30780 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 36864 bytes.

Warning message:

warning: "ENABLE_HWSERIAL4" redefined
   84 |       #define ENABLE_HWSERIAL4
      |               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That is normal as the default Serial for the GenericG070KBTx is the Serial4. So as you define it again in the build_opt.h....
Maybe you got an Arduino cache issue but there is no issue with build_opt.h.

This is my setting:

This is compiled without the build_opt.h file:

And this is compiled with the build_opt.h file:

Am I missing something that the build_opt.h file doesn't work for me unless I enable LTO on the build Optimization?

Maybe an Arduino IDE cache issue. Anyway hard to help as it works as expected. Tested on Windows, Linux and Mac with Arduino IDE 2.3.4.
